Do you mean with a scuba tank? What's the problem if one dives in without a tank? Is the danger that they could decide to jump in from the shallow side?
The context was in the four words prior, "tells kids not to". You see it a lot. Little kids get excited, start diving in head first everywhere and some hit the shallows or bench, or steps. Thankfully, kids are light, bendy, and able to regrow teeth.
I guess if you go in on a steep angle you could face plant, but that would take some special sort of doofus to manage.
Someone with no experience / knowledge copying another or something similar, maybe
Special sort of doofus reporting in, I'm still missing part of my front tooth from when I was young and dumb.
Ah, yes - young - I hadn't thought of that!
